What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Human Resource Specialist with a strong background in social work, particularly in supporting vulnerable populations. My experience spans over two decades, during which I have honed my skills in human resource management, crisis intervention, and mental health support. Currently, I serve in the DC Army National Guard, where I lead initiatives to ensure the readiness and welfare of soldiers, fostering an environment of respect and productivity.
Throughout my career, I have successfully managed various roles, including Social Worker at the VA Medical Center, where I developed treatment plans for elderly clients, and as a Veteran’s Outreach Specialist, providing essential services to homeless veterans. My commitment to improving the lives of others is reflected in my numerous military awards, including the Army Achievement Medal and the DCNG Homeland Defense Medal. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to create positive outcomes in both military and civilian settings.
